im getting constant crashes after updating from VR2.3.1. done wiping cache+dalvik as usual.

"com.android.phone" crashes. :( any idea why?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Indeed. I issue my most heartfelt apologies to everyone that 2.4.2 was written as 2.4.1...

:p

If you're going to try say Noonski did drain his battery, then look in the old thread, and you will see it's a true story - he was trying to drain it to calibrate, and just couldn't get rid of that last 15%, even when draining :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Logcats for crashes, guys :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] musafir84:
How do I uninstall? I do not have the option to do so. It says "Installed on device - Default"
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mbwatson:
Use Titanium Backup to uninstall.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mb:
Nope. Just the bog standard Gmail and Samsung email apps.

I use VR LITE and added the Samsung Tasks App last week as I missed it. I have a sneaky feeling it might be this conflicting, but not actually sure.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] AvRS:
I think he meant why not try a 3rd party app to see if that helps. At least that's what I got from the reply. Worth a shot I'd say to see if it fixes the issue.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
That's correct. I never use stock email, in fact I have frozen it with TB.

Since I have a Yahoo mail box I use the app from market for that.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mb:
Pretty sure it's now a conflict with putting back the Samsung Tasks (or whatever it's called) app.

I had zero problems with wakelocks before this and push email worked fine.

But thanks for the suggestions!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] McCadi:
It seems like the home button speed tweak stops working after a while...anyone else get this?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Auridran:
Can't say I have. Are you sure it stopped working? Does double pressing the home button launch voice command or whatever it is? If not, then that's just the lag of the TouchWiz launcher and not the home button responding slowly.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kamale:
Might have been mentioned in the recesses of this massive thread somewhere. But any way i can take screen shots with villain rom. The usual "Menu button + Volume Button down" doesn't work anymore. :confused: :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tenchi0205:
:confused:not home+power button for screen capture??
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Illicit Hero:
Still is, and works perfectly.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kamale:
Terima Kasih bro.

I think i've been using MIUI for too long hahaha. Thanks again :p
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Lolol. That's quite funny
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ediflyer:
Out of interest is it a Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync account? I had exactly the same issue (and problems with encryption) - all resolved now that I've switched to TouchDown.

Anyone's Facebook app not working properly since today's FB update?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mynamesteve:
Mine is working fine.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kenkiller:
Strange...I keep getting the below screen. Another Evo3D on the same wifi network works fine. Anyone encountered something similar?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
hi guys whats the recommended themes or what would you use for the rom please...i think this rom is a keeper now..thanks
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mynamesteve:
Very strange, you could try uninstalling and reinstalling, or go to the app in applications and clear cache see if that helps.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] chimerical26:
In my opinion it might be useful to remove "The ROM Noonski Couldn't Drain The Battery On" from the thread title.

I switched to another ROM about a month ago. I return every now and then to check on this ROM and I'm afraid that stale catch phrase turns me off straight away.

It seems like an inside joke. It's been there so long it gives the impression this ROM doesn't get updated. Draining the battery is no longer the issue it once was.

A better headline might highlight the most enticing feature of the latest ROM update.

I hope this feedback is useful.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
guys advice please...whenever i swipe to unlock the phone it goes straight to the music app..any tips on how to avoid that happening please? cheers.. and battery life on this bad boy is good thanks..staying on this rom for a while
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Bratag:
If a stale inside joke can turn you off a ROM I think there may be bigger issues at play.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] AvRS:
LOL +1

Also I think the need to update the title is the same as the need to update this ROM......there isn't one, so if people don't understand that then they won't understand the reason for this ROM so won't use it anyway. I see it as a win win situation, less people asking silly questions and those that appreciate get updates of merit :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
Guys when i swipe my lockscree it goes straight to music player. any advice please
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Yoyoa:
I have this issue with a theme not with rom. Have you flash a theme?

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
Have you tried clearing music player data from applications?

Transmitted from a Galaxy far far away via XDA telepathy.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Meh it was a joke between me and noonski :)

But still, people report 15% better battery life here than other ROMs, provided set up correctly :)

Regarding updates, when will people realise? I update when there is a need... Right now the leak scene is quiet awaiting some KI1 or whatever builds.

If they are usable, update comes.

This is intended to be as stable as possible. On ninpo kernel, and this ROM, I have over 6 weeks without reflash, and over 300 hours continuous uptime :) and that reboot was due to me draining battery fully till it died. Before that I had way more uptime...

So yeah, there are no updates until they are needed :) But lasting 6 weeks without touching is a positive indication to me that it's good :D

1100mv / 1000mhz

1000mv / 800mhz

875mv / 500mhz

850mv / 200mhz

Apm + CRT + OS + circle battery

Juice Defender Ultimate user too.

1.6ghz

Edit: However, i use 1.4ghz as im not at ease using 1450mv-1475mv, id be more at ease to use my 1325mv. :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kenkiller:
Yeah, tried all that. Time to titanium backup and do a wipe. :(
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Bratag:
Are you using the init.d method for overclock/undervolt mentioned in the ninephet thread?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] chrisjcks:
Setcpu.

Glad it's not just me. Yes, it's an Exchange account.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Some people have been asking me about battery life, and stuff... Acolwill had huge drain, turned out to be a combination of Latitude and Alarming! (the alarm clock app) iirc...

If you get drain, check out wakelocks in BetterBatteryStats (free on XDA) to see if there's something hogging one :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] k1ng440:
i am experiencing battery drain by "Android OS". any idea how to fix this?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Bratag:
Based on what and please dont say "because its a big percentage of my battery use". Have you used something like better battery stats to check out your wakelocks etc
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Lennyuk:
Alarming has not had an update since android 1.6.... it is not a good app to be using these days at all.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] lpsi2000:
Yep, Yep, these are the reasons why I am still using this ROM. Further more it amazes me when I watch people complaining in other threads about stuff that just works in this ROM. As I said many times, I am all for tweaking and getting the phone to look good and working faster but not at the expense of loosing features. The grass is always greener in my neighbors lawn.:D However, ppl are always saying that my grass looks good (go figured):p

Bro, keep doing what you are doing, they are plenty of us who appreciate the work.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] k1ng440:
Yes, i have checked wakelock.. there is no draining the battery... its just the suspend and events/0
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] s2d4:
R u using juice defender or something similar?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Auridran:
Same thing here. I've chalked it up to either a display bug, or just something that Samsung is doing differently with the SII compared to the original. Android OS is always on top with suspend and events/0, but my battery life does not seem to suffer because of it.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Hmm. I wonder how they calculate the usage figures...

Tbh what matters relating is how long you get out of it, rather than what some arbitrary number says :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] rocketpaul:
How do i delete latitude? for some reason i cant find it in titanium back up. Is it named differently?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Lennyuk:
latitude is not an app in its own right, it is linked to Google Maps, open maps and just make sure latitude is disabled.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] k1ng440:
Yes i am using juice defender ultimate
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Try not using it?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Lennyuk:
Juice Defender will do nothing but help your battery life assuming you set it up correctly.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Yeah, but if it b0rks or something, then it is just another service that exists on the phone :D

/me votes for running less, and setting it up properly yourself :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] k1ng440:
Ok, i have disabled it.. is it good or i have to remove it completely?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] chris2busy:
I just wish there was a way to disable unauthorized multitasking on android os...ios gets over 2x battery effeciency by just doing that..android os task kikler just aint cutting it..still with this rom i get the most out of this phone's batt..it may be around 5 hours screen on time,only, but i grew used to it..
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Ever considered that it could be the screen that's using said power giving 5 hours screen on? :p

If you don't want multi-tasking on the world's most advanced multitasking Realtime OS (linux), then I suggest buying an iPhone 3G and running iOS 3 without support for multi tasking :p

You use multitasking more than you think :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Bratag:
They can have my freaking multi-tasking when they pry it from my cold dead fingers. Just think about this. How many times have you started doing something, then realized you needed more info from another part of your phone etc, gone and got it and then come back to where you were to finish the task.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
I am doing it just now, with irc running in the background, forum runner in the foreground, and a browser running somewhere being switched back and forth.

Multitasking ftw
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Nebucatnetzer:
Speaking of multitasking. I recommend everyone this app

Swipepad

It's awesome how much it improves the handling with your phone.

P.S. I don't have anything to do with the dev. So it's not spamming just a little bit OT.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] chamonix:
are you checking the wakelock view? those sound like processes.

Take some time reading the first posts in the thread, have a look at the in-app howto or check it online. If you have more questions about handling or specific wakelocks feel free to report and ask in the thread.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Hmmmm I had never seen that before, but it looks very nice :)

More spam/OT please, there's some good apps in here :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] chris2busy:
Meh..i believe i did not phrase that properly..i meant a more organised multitasking...and things running on the background to not have access to full power..not any app can access the net and poll or ping whenever it feels like it..something like google apps sync do would be cool..

Oh and btw the screen is not the reason one gets 5 hours screen on time at all...my phone with screen lit up can go about 13 hours idle..if one starts to as muxh as navigate menus alone that time gets cut down to pretty much 4-5 hrs..so i believe it has to be the os.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kryptoner:
13 hours with screen on? Man, where did you buy you phone? Jk.

13 hours screen on is impossible even if you do nothing
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] TheIntersect:
It isn't, I found this out because the iPlayer app keeps my phone awake and screen on.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] troffers:
Just downloaded that app, seems pretty awesome so far.

I really love it. It's my favourite app together with SwiftKey. It's simple on one hand and on the other hand it improves the user experience a lot. I would like to know more apps like this. Maybe a specific thread would be interesting. Or maybe there is already one?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] chrisjcks:
Whats gtalk sync conn?

I have this even with 'sign in automatically' disabled.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tamarian:
My screen time is usually 5-6 hours in heavey use, but It's possible if I put my phone in airplane mode, read an ebook in night mode, and screen filter to lower the brighness further.

On a side note, dimming the screen with agressive screen filtering can increase benchmarks significantly.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
That's how the phone talks to google, ie market and cloud 2 device messages. So any apps running that have cloud features with a remote server? :p
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Ahhhh... Screen filter :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] netcitizen:
In battery usage graph there is a time on top of the graph and there is one below the graph. And they have different values. what is the difference between the two?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] s2d4:
One is the sample/data/graph range, the other i am sure you can read
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Nebucatnetzer:
So I started a thread to this specific topic.

Share your favourite app

It would be very cool if all the interested people could post their apps. Hopefully my idea works and we can create a good list with interesting apps.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] chris2busy:
Yep..anyone with a calibrated batt can get that result..

Problem is, i still have not yet found anyone that can answer my last question..

what is it that decimates batt like that?touchscreen input ?the way android os renders stuff ? java being too power hungry?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] chrisjcks:
Regarding the 2 big battery saving apps available...

I own both JD Ultimate and Green Power Premium,

GP wins on both battery saving and stabilty.

GP also doesnt stop working, JDU seems to say 'didnt shut down properly' and stops working (even though it doesnt tell you that its stopped working - its in the JDU logs)

Also, i dont seem to get the new facebook battery drain that i used to get with JDU regarding the chat sync.

Jdu - 6/10

GP - 9/10

Im also absolutely certain that my phone runs faster with GP compared to JDU - scrolling ny widgit pages and app pages in TW4 is definately faster/smoother.

Just my thoughts, tested with villain rom.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] dully79:
Thanks, that app is day shizznit.:)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] s2d4:
The display itself is most likely it? Ppl have modified the lightings driver to lower consumption but this doent detract from the fact that the screen is a power hog for being beautifully briiight
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] s2d4:
Tell ppl to use jd for managing cpu.

Calls me wrong to use setcpu as suggested and material physics as basis for oc/uv.

Then somehow goes to setcpu.

Says 600mv UC at 200mhz.

Asks why 1.6ghz is unstable at default value.

Ask on voltage limit when capped at 1500mv.

Spams voltage settings

Tell ppl to use GP

Jesus..
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mynamesteve:
Imho I see no need to use extra apps to manage battery, don't you think its kinda counterproductive to be installing apps to lighten the load on your battery?

You every thought by stopping an app connecting to the net it might just keep trying till the net is reconnected (wakelocks anybody?)

Its all about app management, use betterybatterystats to determine whats munching the battery and delete. Easy as pie.Enjoy your phone :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] chrisjcks:
What a bell-end you truly are!

Troll somewhere else...

I didnt tell you not to use setcpu at all, i told you its stabilty test is non-sense and not to be trusted!

Jd is fine controlling cpu, whether it doesnt change voltages or not, it controls the cpu just fine... Have you even tried it?

I was able to save 600mv at 200mhz in setcpu..regardless if you say it was set to that or not, setcpu said it was either way.

Suddenly goes to setcpu?... Ive been a Purchased user of this software since the i9000, not a xda freeloader properly like yourself!

I asked for the voltage limit as i didnt know it, i stated 1.6ghz wasnt stable at this voltage and wanted to know the voltage limit! ....

...isnt this what you do here on xda when you have a question you need an answer too?

I dont tell people to use GP, its called posting your findings from someone who owns/tried/tested them both....

TROLL!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] AvRS:
+100

There is no need but people will believe what an app description tells them. I choose to run no extra software then is needed to do what I need and get great battery life for me. I also never calibrate my battery, never have and never will and no worse off regardless of what others believe.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
I don't use any other apps to control stuff, than setcpu to manage undervolt and underclock...

In other news, try and play nice, lets not see trolling back and forth :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Auridran:
You can believe what you want, but Juice Defender, and I'm sure the other similar apps, do help with battery savings. My girlfriend used to complain every day about her battery life being horrible, if she even made it the whole day. I installed Juice Defender on her phone and at the end of the day she's almost always at 50% or above with exactly the same usage as before.

I don't use any of the apps, because I don't need them, just like you. That doesn't mean they don't work.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] chrisjcks:
true, its just a matter of user preferance.

if your willing to disable wifi and mobile networks whenever you wish to put your phone into idle etc, then i wouldnt see the need for the apps.

also, if your willing to put the phone into airplane mode at night etc, rather than allowing the software to do it automatically, thats fine too.

its just a matter of preferance, but the apps do work as intended.

ie. with GP, i can leave wifi on at all times, if it doesnt connect to a network in 30 seconds (can be set lower), it will automatically disable wifi without me doing anything. Whilst turning off wifi/mobile networks when the screen is off is also saving me battery too. (they turn back on as soon as my screen comes on)

to me, they work.

ive found i can squeeze a few more hours out with GP compared to JDU, and that my phone is more responsive with GP compared to JDU.

OT: just noticed 'BlockBreaker 3 unlimited HD' from gameloft is just £0.69 on the market. < Awesomeeee.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] s2d4:
That is pretty much what i was trying to say. Guess i didn't do it as well so he found it offensive. I just wished he'd stop peddling stuff he doesnt really understand as it only confuses ppl.

Fair call, he does gets fairly defensive/aggressive about it all. Doesnt take criticism too well, calls me names and be abusive but anyways, point taken. Cheers for being a champ.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] s2d4:
This defenitely rings a bell, google services, locations wakelock etc

Plus several ppl with events and suspend wakelocks.

Killing services/apps just for it to restart, this loop is a major drainer..

Turning wifi/3g on and off too frequently doesnt help either.

So pretty much, if u know what ur doing, u dont really need any of the supposed battery helpers like managements apps, task killers or some memory optimising thing on a 1gb phone.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] DoubleYou79:
Still having the same problem as in the beta. Using the KG6 version with the Villain ROM and my email app keeps crashing and whenever I try to set an alarm the clock app crashes.

I use Tasker and some profile settings I downloaded to kill the data connection when the screen is off, but check every 15 minutes during the working day for emails. Works really well and I get very good battery life.
